Through our analysis of over one million gully cleanses throughout the UK, we know that approximately 80% of gullies don’t need emptying every year. Our SmartWater solution provides you with this information on both a web-based and handheld solution, enabling cleansing to take place only on gullies that require it.
SmartWater helps to identify problem gullies. By implementing targeted cleaning of these gullies, the chance of surface water flooding can be reduced.
The next step in the SmartWater solution is to instrument the high risk gullies by fitting our multi-functional remote sensor. This sensor detects the level of silt and water in the gully. This then provides an early warning system of gullies that are in flood or are about to flood.
Using the data provided by the SmartWater Sensors - our analytics combine specific information from gullies with multiple data sets, such as weather, traffic flow, tree data and flood risk. Trials have shown that gullies with sensors are achieving 70% forecast accuracy within the first three months.
InTouch provide an inspection service and the data reports include; gully pot location, depth, condition, silt level and outlet depth. This data is stored in your system, along with a digital image which is time and date stamped. Inspections save you around 3/4's of the cost of a cleanse.
